  • weight problem with various other symptoms?

    Main problem is weight gain. I am 5'3" and currently weigh 212 lbs. In the last year I have gained about 30 pounds, I am more active than I was a year ago, eat healthier, have had blood work done (not thyroid), but can not lose weight, if I do lose any it comes back plus more. I nearly never eat fast food, never drink soda, only have alcohol once or twice a week. rarely eat junk food, diet leans more to the vegetarian side, try to eat whole grains over any other type. (white foods are rare) only have one or 2 cups of coffee or tea a day. avoid tap water , (reverse osmosis or spring water only ...at least 64 oz a day)

    I am aware that eating fewer than 1000 calories causes body to basically hibernate, but that's all I care to eat most days.

    other information that may be useful to problem above:

    along with this I have a multitude of other symptoms originally I was told it was inflammatory arthritis I originally was put on steroids for over a year for this, ( but learned to control it with herbs and mostly organic diet for the past 5+ years) but now it seems more like fibromyalgia, which one dr. suggested a few years ago that I may have it but at the time I dismissed this because at the time that was the "go to

    " diagnosis for doctors around my area. (will not list all the fibro symptoms here because you know what they are and I have them ALL)

    BUT with all the symptoms listed above plus severe muscle cramping(mainly in legs and back) and swelling and severe pain of the feet . (no other cause for the muscle cramps. I stay well hydrated, I take a very potent vitamin. I am not on any medications. )

    Exercise when body allows it includes yoga, walking 1 to 3 miles, dance, and chasing a 2yr old.

    So with all this info.... whats wrong with me?????

    (not a hypochondriac.. I do not want to go on any medication would rather treat with homeopathy, would rather stay out of local doctors' offices for this because they only want to treat symptoms not find what the cause is.

    please help!!!
